The DPC is pleased to announce an upcoming seminar produced in collaboration with the Association of Learned and Professional Society Publishers. “Standing on the Digits of Giants” is a seminar that will examine emerging trends in scholarly communication from the perspective of the publication and long-term access to the scholarly record. This includes outputs not traditionally included within the primary scientific canon such as metadata, software and research data. This is a full day event and will be held at Arundel House (13-15 Arundel House, Temple Place, London WC2R) on Tuesday 8th March.
The day will encourage the exchange of ideas and discuss possible solutions or collaborations to issues. Participants will have clarity on the various moving parts that make up the digital research record, which will enable them to develop relevant policies and support for authors, editors and other clients. They will have increased knowledge and access to networks that will support scenario-planning and product development going forward. More details for the seminar can be found on the ALPSP website.
Ten free places have been reserved for DPC members, please contact Sharon McMeekin (sharon[at]dpconline.org) if you would like to attend. Non-members can book a seat via the registration page on the ALPSP website.
